    she said mine is 5 days sooner. but i take it with a grain of salt :| .. either way.. people who ordered after me.. or on the same day are getting theirs.. which makes me jealous and sad.

    That is because the "automated lady" is stating and ESD, which stands for Estimated Ship Date.

    Online shows an EDD, which stands for Estimated Delivery Date.

    These are two different things ;)

    If my status isn't updated by Monday, some poor Dell rep is going to get a pissed off customer.

    i ordered yesterday 2/19 and later that night the status went into production. that's what the website says. how fast does it usually take for them to be "put into production"? cause either that was really fast or im just getting excited and they always say "in production"

    My M11X has been traveling to me for the last 3 days and I'm getting antsy. There were no "speed up my shipping plz" options for us Canadians. I'm hoping by Mon or Tues it'll finally arrive. Still on "U.S.A. GROUND LINEHAUL".

    It really depends on the product. For some its typical to be that fast. However for the M11x thats fast.
    It took me a whole week to get into production, and now its almost a week later and its still in production - that is normal though - i think you can expect the production phase to take 5-8 days, any longer than 10 is not normal in my opinnion.

    Quite Right,

    I'm from the US and ordered a black one with only the processor upgrade on 2/2 and I'm still "In Production" on the site and in the "Build Stage" on the automated phone system.

    EDD of 3/4 :mad:

    Mine just moved to shipped today. :eek:

    Ordered:2/4/2010
    ETA was:3/5/2010
    Shipped status:2/20/2010
    EDD: 2/23/2010
    Location: Washington D.C. area

    **I am happy, but mad at the same time as I have not yet ordered a new gaming mouse/pad and other extras yet expecting a few more weeks to price shop..

    Damn you Dell for the BS about the March shipping date!!!!!!!!!!!!

    **I may forgive Dell as I did not expect the OC-option when I ordered it and sooner ship date, plus the nice set of discounts (thanks to folks here) when I hit the trigger.

    :D

    @ sero and ceol

    This is a little bit BS too. I ordered on 2/2 as well and have been stuck in the build stage. We should be getting our M11xs at the same time as everyone elses, if not earlier. Some poor rep will have a difficult time with me if my status doesn't change on monday.

    I would recommend calling in if you ordered 2/2, I think for whatever a reason a lot of early orders got delayed. I ordered 2/2 and mine was not moving at all, I called last Thursday to complain, they refunded shipping and set it overnight, then expedited. A day later mine is in boxing, and now it has updated to shipped with a EDD of this coming Tuesday. I really think if I had done nothing I would still be sitting in build right now.

    Called my rep and was told backorder on base CPU SU4100 and battery, can't believe what the Dell reps say. So as of today, reps have been saying power cords, hard drives, battery, etc are backordered. I geuss they say anything for you to get off the phone???

    Yeah it "shipped" today but probably not till Monday. If you're still having issues by Tuesday I'll give you my Order #. I'm not exactly sure how safe it is to give that out now, sorry.

    can someone please tell me where to find an email for customer service or something, I'd really like to know why people who ordered 5 days after me are receiving theirs and mine is still in the build stage.

    This is getting ridiculous. Anyone else have luck with emailing a dell rep?

    yea it's probably not :( but sometimes to prove a point to a dell rep they'd ask for an order #.. i emailed him not too long ago about how some people are receiving it earlier but ordered the same day(I didn't put any order#'s).

    He hasn't replied cause he's not working but we'll see :(

    Well if your rep doesn't get back to you or has bad news for you on Monday then go ahead and PM his/her email and your name and I'll go ahead and send an email over with my order #. Not sure if they can match conversations, knowing Dell, but it's worth a try to get yours going. Are you still in build, production, mars what lol?
